Building on the success of the original Xplorer F3J, NAN released the 4.0 meter version and now we are able to offer the 4.0 meter in a Spread Tow version! The Xplorer 4000 ST Lite features extended wing tips/larger center pannel in a Spread Tow carbon skin lay-up. The new Spread Tow Lite layup offers improved torsional strength, improved overall stiffness, and a significant reduction in weight!!
The Spread Tow Lite Lay-up is the choice of the top contest pilots around the world due to it's amazing strength to weight ratio.
That is a lot of wing for olny 77 ounces!!
NAN models in Bulgaria represents their continued dedication to producing some of the finest, best value models in the world. The Xplorer raises the bar to a new level with higher quality, better fit and finish into a lighter stiffer airframe. Nikolay has been working hard on the production of this new model for some time, and once again, he has come up with a winner!
The Xplorer came onto the contest scene in 2008 and WON a number of European Contest before WINNING the 2008 WORLD F3J CHAMPIONSHIPS held in Turkey flown by Benedikt Feigl. Since 2008 the Xplorer has finished on the podium in a large number of contest all around the world.
We know you will see the Xplorer 4000 ST Lite on the podium for years to come ;-)
You also have the option of either a X-Tail or the 2-piece V-Tail.
